Only 34 days left until . . . the House turns BLUE! That’s right. On December 3, 2019, the House of Representatives will officially welcome 40 New Democrats.

Corrie’s Kitchen is “open” for December

IF member and new FUSD school board trustee, Corrie Pedrotti, is “baking” her (and her daughter, Quinn’s) way to the Women’s March in DC on January 19, 2019.

Corrie’s Kitchen Menu for December

Maple-Walnut Scones (6 for $14)

Benbow Inn Currant Scones (6 for $14)

Cranberry Scones (6 for $14)

Irish Soda Break with butter, jam and tea ($12)
